The purpose of this paper is to study the problem of generalizing the
Belavkin-Kalman filter to the case where the classical measurement signal is
replaced by a fully quantum non-commutative output signal. We formulate a least
mean squares estimation problem that involves a non-commutative system as the
filter processing the non-commutative output signal. We solve this estimation
problem within the framework of non-commutative probability. Also, we find the
necessary and sufficient conditions which make these non-commutative estimators
physically realizable. These conditions are restrictive in practice.Comment: 31 page
